Listen To This: Imagine You're On A Beach In St. Tropez With A Glass Of Champagne!
Filed under: Listen To This
If you're not a fan of Euro pop, then you probably won't like this song.
If you can appreciate the cheesy goodness of the genre, then you will love this!
Her name is Kate Ryan, and despite the Anglo name, she's actually from Belgium.
Her song Ella Elle L'a is pure Velveeta - perfect while you're on the treadmill or baking yourself in the sun like Cristiano Ronaldo.
You know Ronnie would be all up on this shit like hookers on his dick!
Enjoy.

I love all her songs!
Désanchantée, Je T'adors, Ella elle l'a,…
I'm proud to be a Belgian guy ^^.
Her hometown, Tessenderlo, is about 20 kilometres from my home!!
This is a remake of France Gall, 1987, Then Vanessa Paradis also made a remake and now, this new gal is doing even better!
this song is a remake of the 90's song done by french singer FRANCE GALL and written by her late genuis husband MICHEL BERGER and it's a song about american singer ELLA FITZGERALD, the original version is much better and the words have powerful meaning it's not just a cheesy pop song
pure shit, who would listen to that
Admittedly, not as catchy as "Désenchantée" but it's okay.

SHE'S LOVELY!!!!!
Best regards Perez!
I've been a fan of Kate Ryan for YEARS!!!!!! So good to finally see her getting some attention over here… love it! She is amazing!!!
this a remake of a old song by mylene farmer, ces un vielle reprise d,un toune de mylene farmer. But it's good, this will be a euro dance hit in the club. Ca va être un hit dans les club. Jf from montreal
it's treu the canadian french singer diane tell have made this song in firts in the 80th
i like this song, but i know that she has better songs
Kate Ryan is a beautiful Belgian who just released her 4th album. This song's been out for a while, however.
SHE DID AN AMAZING TECHNO SONG LIKE 10 YEARS AGO… THIS IS GOOD TOO
she didn't write this song. It's been around forever. You should probably update the post.
this this just shit… no one' really listen to that crab in europe… maybe 4 years old girls you haven't yet any taste in music…
perez come on…what happend to you ??? did you had a bad shag last night… this sound is horrible
by the way the original by france gall is a thounsand time better that this kiddy-shit
and in st. tropez every on would laugh on that…
perez go to ibiza…the get the mood of good house music…this is fucking shit!
I love this song I'm from Belgium to
Re: Yazzeey –
Vuil emotrutje:p
Re: IkeaG – you're so wrong….the original singer (and better than Vanessa or Kate) was France Gall and yes the very very original version was much better!!!
Re: Helie – the original version is by France Gall.
This brings back memories of camping holidays at the Cote D'Azur In France in the late 80's, when this song was THE hit of the summer!
Re: IkeaG –
No it's a shitty cover of a good song by singer France Gall
Heu please the song has been written by Michel Berger for France Gall alors hein !
Perez this song sucks like Hell , I won't listen to this in St-Tropez , you're kidding us .
i love the lyrics is sooooooooooo gay
Makes me want to go rollerskating
Hi, i'm from belgium , the country of Kate Ryan
she's not a slut , she really made it , also in other countries in europe.
She has been trough a lot of stuff and now she's so much stronger.
I love it that Perez Hilton promotes her stuff !
My Hunk of a Man Cristiano Ronaldo would Never have a to pay a Hooker Perez!
Does anyone remember Stephanie de Monaco's 80's one-hit-wonder "Flash?" Basically the same song as this. I love EuroPop because it sounds the same from decade to decade (disco!)
I love this song! It will always remind me of europe. Perez you should see the video, pure Eurotrash! I love this continent!!!!
Love it! I used to dance to her other song… désenchantée in Canada like 5 years ago….!!!!
Re: Laure –
+1!
old song
Guys, check out the video clip of this song on
www.belgovision.com/index_f.php?id=4363
REMAKE!!!!
Hi Perez I just thought I'd let you know that this is a remake of a french song from the 80s. I have the original in MP3 format!, if ou want I can send it to you! I have to say I love this new version better! although I do like the original! Cheers!
Wow Perez! It took you long enough to finally put this song up on your blog! Its been the European song of the summer for a bit now. She has had a few hits in Europe definately worth it to listen to her other songs too like Desanchantée
Love it!
OMG OMG OMG OMG!
this is so a remake of a very famous french singer called edith piaf ! i saw the film ! i dig it so bad !
and the chick is hot too!
perez you rule!!!! (you uneducated fat ugly queer /sad fuck. did i say fat ?) x
"Ella Elle L'a" is actually a remake from a french singer called France Gall.
It's a song about Elle Fitzgerald.
She's saying "Ella she's got it" talking about her voice and strengh.
St Tropez, Pigez? They wouldn't even let you in. They have a rule about turds with blubbery asses and sqeaky high voices that say "and that's fine/OK" to everything. Of course, you're fine with everything; you're even fine with having a gigantic schlong rammed down your throat! Of course your gonna be fine with other stuff! LOL
Perez - love you!
Why is everybody talking shit about her?
Yes it is a remake of a song, so what?
Some say it's worse, some say it's better,,
i'm from belgium too,, and we know much more about her succes in Europe…
She is very succesfull in Europe and i love this song
Thank You Perez for posting it
You should check out some songs of an other Belgian artist, called 'Hadise'!
She rules too!
x
this is a remake of a french song by France Gall in the ealry 90`s..
it`s cool , but nothing beats the original…xx
perezzzzz why?????
the one time you decide to introduce a Belgian artist to the world .. you choose Kate Ryan?!!!! the one positive thing i cn say about her is .. she actually can sing. but the only thing she does is cover songs that were much better in the original version … althow i have to admit that she did a great job on "désenchanté".
it's time for you to listen to the following Belgian artist who are truelly worth it to be discovered by the americans. I suggest you youtube dEUS, sioen, Gabriel Rios, soulwax, zita swoon (if you really are a fan of Europop you will love their song called Banana Queen) Axelle Red, Absynth Minded, Arsenal, dr. Lektroluv ……. and many more
there is a great Belgian music scene out there, but in my eyes Kate Ryan isn't a part of it.
xoxo
BananaQueen
hi everybody, this is actually a really good song and indeed a remake of on old france gall song! I have the pleasure to know her in real life because the lady who is giving me singing courses is her backing vocal so i've seen a lot of live performances and she is really amazing!!! Search it on Youtube and you will be amazed. If you wanna know more, just ask
Greetings from Antwerpen yes indeed in Belgium !!!!
This shiz iz smokin'.
Re: IkeaG – you're right………..this is soooooo OLD!
Hello, this dumb bitch is worth nothing! always sitting in the vip at versuz, hasselt belgium like she has a talent… NOT she's a ugly fat faced cunt who stars in her clips like she's rich or something. KATY, your clips are sooooooooo fake glamour, really, I would suggest some serious change of director or whatever,
btw don't you have your own songs? people don't like this remake shit!
BAD ACNE and a whole lotta makeup are not pretty!!
Partnerswitch rules!
Yes this song was first song by the French singer France Gall and she sang it in honor of Ella Fitzgerald. But WHY does Kate Ryan only do remakes of old songs? Has anyone heard “Voyage” by Desireless? She should get some original material and stop messing around with the classics. (She doesn’t have the voice!!!)
kate, the piercing-thing is soooooooo over.
You are showing your tongue-piercing off TOO MUCH
Everybody I know hates you for that, it's really not done anymore,
Please make some songs of your own, heck even I can write a good song, so why won't you?
Ps come by in our clinic again!
Kate Ryan has a lot of hits in Europe!!!
Just a remake from France Gall - some French singer that interpreted that song in the 80's. Sucked then and sucks now….
yeah she is pretty good. there was a song about 5-7 yrs ago Desenchantee that she sang that i was obsessed with. viva euro pop!
Weird.. I hear that song when I was in Middle School.. around 12-13.. maybe 14.. *and now I'm 22..*
But wikipedia says it's the single of her new album.. Her 2008 album.. WTF ?
She's very popular in Europe.
This is not her song! This is a remake of a song of the 90's!!!!!!
This offering reminds me of the stuff Kylie Minogue was churning out in her earlier years, only in French. Even the way she's dressed in the picture is similar to the skimpy outfits Minogue was known for, only she's chosen silver hotpants instead of gold! I think she has a stronger voice than Minogue though.
Great find Perez! Actually love the song from her called "Desenchantee" - you should check it out. Kate Ryan's been around for a couple of years. While we're on the subject of catchy europop - I would also recommend checking out a cute French singer named Alizee - she's way better than Britney Spears (and by that I mean that she didn't become a trainwreck)
LOVE THE SONG !
LOVE BELGIUM !
Re: TheBa – z100 plays only top 40 american crap
C'EST MA CHANSON …VOLEUSE ……JE DETESTE CETTE VERSION ………HORRIBLE !!!!! ELLA ELLE L'A …….. J AIME LES SUCETTES A L 'ANIS POUR QUELQUE PENNIES…….MUSIQUE ET QUE TOUT LE MONDE SE METTE A CHANTER……
Re: Gisel –
you took the words right out of my mouth!!
desanchantee and scream for more are other great kate ryan songs. she's been around a while, shes cool perez!!
Re: LettyB – Obviously when you refer to us as "fucktards" we aren't going to wish you a happy b'day. And by the way, this song sux but the girl is cute.
Quite like it, I just wish I knew what she was singing…oh well!!
Not being shiteous but is it genetical that gay men love trash music.In the 18 months I have popped in and out of here every single track you put up has been terrible guff musically.
I'm from Sweden and i really like this song. She's also HOT, what makes her a european Diva
Going out in europe.. love it :p:p:p
Finally Perez! Kate Ryan is awesome she's been around for years now…
Wow - thank you Perez! You made this old chick's heart happy - post more Euro - YESSSSS! (Canada & 46 lol)
Yay Perez! I looove Kate Ryan. Been a big fan of hers for years. First discovered her music during a trip to Paris and picked up a copy of her album which includes 'Desanchantee' (the track all the other posters here are commenting on)- one of the best dance albums of that year for sure!
Kate's trying out a Euro-trance kinda vibe for this latest album ("Free") that this new track is from. Please give her a chance, guys! If Madonna can experiment with Hip-Hop why can't Kate branch out to a different club vibe? It might not be everyone's cup-of-tea but the album is actually very, very good.
Kate rules!
Thanks again Perez for bringing her onto the USA radar!
Thanks for bringing this song. Im cuban and I was in Ibiza and this a great all over Spain. Europop should get played in the US!!!!
I like it.
She should change her name back, her dutch name is nice.
a song i sang to when i was like 10 years old…
Re: Kathr – désanchantée from kate? no way desanchantée is from mylene farmer. ryan only sings remakes.
Wow could she be any more 90's techno cheese. this song literally sounds like a compilation of Vengaboys Venga Bus meets Haddaway's what is love (I had to google that just to ensure accurate comparison). I'm sure she has talent but this is old school in the worst way, better luck next time honey
Re: THIS – NICE COMMENT HONEY!!! IF what you said doesn't prove the point nothing will
kate ryan's had music out for years…desenchantee back in the day was awesome. didn't realize she was still around
kate ryan has had countless hits all over europe!
check out…
'la promesse' (the promise you made)
'je tadore'
'alive'
'only if i'
'scream for more'
'voyage voyage'
KATE RYAN = Anglo name?!?!?!?! Perez. You are an ill-educated boor. It is at best, an Irish name. Irish people are NOT ANGLO. Anglo does not just mean "white"
I love kate ryan! lived in europe for a bit and thats when i discovered her music! i love Desenchante, you should check it out! Could totally imagine being on a beach in St. Tropez! I loved the South of France!
Donnez-moi une pause Perez. S'en tenir à ce que vous savez … anal!
Eventhough she's from my country I actually don't like her music. I'm just no fan of Euro Pop I think
Re: Anne – Anne has it right: dEUS and Zita Swoon are much and much better!
And if you like French, Vive La Fête is really great! And they're Belgians too!
I like more the France Gall version…. and Kate Ryan sounds horrible, used to like some of her other songs/covers.
DUDE, france gall let that happen?? WTF WAS SHE THINKING
Looks like she is a A grade cock hole.
I'm from belgium
And i'd like to say that Kate Ryan is a star but only in the Dutch-speaking part of the country.
In Brussels and in the french-speaking part, we don't give a shit about her !
Perez, this song is FUCKING A !
I know it already from a friend of mine ( I live in Quebec, Canada, too, and we have known this song for a while ) but still, it is just pure ear candy
It's a cover. The original is much better, dedicated to Ella fitzgerald
And France Gall sings the original
ah this reminds me of my schooldays!
it's about ella fitzgerald.
st Tropez c'est quand même un peu surfait… et cette chanson un peu de la merde !
This song has been played here in Sweden for the past MONTHS, it's everywhere and we're so sick of it.. although it's really good party music
it's fun though that Perez likes Europop - nothing's better!!!
puss på alla!*
Maybe you would like the Swedish singers "September" or "Velvet", too? They sound pretty much like this
I'm also from Belgium and I love this song. Kate has a beautiful voice.
Kate Ryan is a famous singer in whole Europe! And what's wrong with remakes? Everyone does it: even RIHANNA!!!!
Greets from Belgium!
TVH
Re: IkeaG – It's Mylene Farmer you idiot!
Perez.. this song is NOT NEW AT ALL!! i have tons of her music.. goes back from 2002!! Shes awesome isnt she!!
this song has been played for a really long time in sweden.
i can't stand it.
